Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has cemented its position as the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, announcing the acquisition of 4,225 additional BTC worth $472.5 million. This brings its total stash to a staggering 601,550 BTC—a first for any public company.
Breaking Down the Latest Bitcoin Purchase
- Amount bought: 4,225 BTC
- Average price paid: $111,827 per Bitcoin
- Total investment: $42.87 billion (average $71,268 per BTC)
- Funding source: Primarily from stock sales ($330.9M from MSTR shares)
The move comes just one week after pausing purchases, proving Michael Saylor’s commitment to “HODLing with purpose.”
Why This Matters for Bitcoin
✅ Corporate adoption leader – Strategy owns ~2.85% of all Bitcoin
✅ Stock-BTC correlation – MSTR shares up 2% premarket
✅ Market confidence – Shows institutional belief in BTC’s long-term value
Michael Saylor’s Cryptic Hints
Last week, Saylor tweeted:
“Some weeks you just need to HODL.”
This week, he changed tune:
The pattern suggests Strategy may resume weekly BTC buys, especially with its $4.2B stock offering ready to fund more purchases.
MSTR Stock Performance
- Current price: ~$443 (up 2% premarket)
- Year-to-date: Closely tracking Bitcoin’s surge to $123K
As Strategy’s value is now tied to BTC, investors see it as a proxy for Bitcoin exposure.
What’s Next?
With $4.2B in planned stock sales, Strategy could:
- Keep accumulating BTC if prices dip
- Push corporate adoption further
- Solidify Bitcoin as a treasury asset
As Saylor famously says:
“Bitcoin is the exit strategy.”
